That is the code that reads Windows disks. Both rated <strong>7.8 HIGH</strong>. Then the kernel maintainers named his fix in the official record. 🧐</p> <p>His name is <strong>Pavitra Jha</strong>. He has been using Linux since he was seven and looking for vulnerabilities since he was nine. He works the hard targets: browser engines, Android, Windows, and the Linux kernel, the low-level parts where memory corruption and privilege escalation live. On his site he lists Hall of Fame credits from Google, Oracle, NASA, Philips and MoonPay, and the Indian Book of Records title as the youngest ethical hacker in India. He reached out to me on LinkedIn, said he liked my content, and shared his write-up on these two bugs.</p>
